Natasha Richardson has lost her fight for life following a skiing accident on Monday. The actress, best known for roles in The Handmaid's Tale and The White Countess, fell and hurt her head on a ski slope and slipped into a coma shortly afterwards. She leaves behind husband Liam Neeson and two sons.Richardson was the scion of an acting dynasty, the daughter of actress Vanessa Redgrave and director Tony Richardson and granddaughter of Sir Michael Redgrave. While such a family pedigree put pressure on the young Natasha, she proved time and again, on stage and on screen, that she had inherited her family's talent. She met Neeson while appearing opposite him on Broadway, and married him in the same year that they filmed Nell together, with Jodie Foster.Our thoughts go out to her family following this sudden and tragic death.

One simple, regular fall on a ski slope has led to the unfortunate death of Tony-award winning actress Natasha Richardson. As we posted yesterday, Richardson was on a beginner's slope when she had what seemed to be a minor fall. However, an hour later, she began complaining of headaches and was rushed to the hospital. In just two days, this fall became fatal as she worsened and was finally taken off life support. As E! Online reports, she was pronounced dead earlier today, and will receive a small and private funeral soon.
A rep for Richardson's husband, Liam Neeson, says: "Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha. They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time."

Actress Natasha Richardson has died after suffering serious head injuries in a skiing accident. She was 45.
The Maid in Manhattan star, who was married to actor Liam Neeson, was taken to hospital in Montreal, Canada after the incident on the slopes of Mont Tremblant on Monday.
Schindler's List star Neeson rushed to her bedside at the Hopital du Sacre-Coeur de Montreal as doctors battled to save her. He flew her to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York on Tuesday, where he was joined by the actress' mother Vanessa Redgrave and close friends and family.
She was removed from life support on Wednesday morning and died hours later.
Confirming the sad news, the actress' publicist Alan Nierob tells WENN, "Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha. They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time."
The daughter of late director/producer Tony Richardson and actress Redgrave, Richardson began her career in regional theatre before moving into television and film work.
Her first major movie was Ken Russell's 1986 drama Gothic, and she also notably starred in The Handmaid's Tail, Past Midnight, and 2001 comedy Blow Dry.
She also portrayed heiress and socialite-turned bank robber Patty Hearst in a biopic and played Lindsay Lohan's mum in the 1998 remake of The Parent Trap.
Richardson won a string of honours during her career, including a 1999 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her turn in Cabaret on Broadway.
She also scooped the Plays and Players Best Actress in 1990, and was twice honoured with Britain's Evening Standard Film Award - in 1990 and 2006.
Richardson wed filmmaker Robert Fox in 1990 but they split two years later. She married Neeson in 1994.
